Hi guys,
Has anyone else been experiencing less than satisfactory battery life upon installing the GB update? This morning after I took my unit off of its charging dock it was fine. An hour later in the office (with no incoming calls or other usage by me) and the damn thing dropped to 80%!! That has never happened before. Is there an add-in or something to counteract this drainage?
HELP.
TIA
The "Soak Testers" have been warned that there is a lot of syncing that goes on the first day of a build, and since these are all totally clean installs, the battery info could be off. Wait a couple days and see what happens.
I had the same issues. I calibrated the battery this morning on a full charge and it is much better.

Been on the stock release since Friday & my battery has steadily improved. Im going on 14hrs off the charger with 20% left. This is better than my fascinate on cm7.
Edit: sorry, just saw this was for the prerooted release.

I have actually seen a boost in battery life. While i was on 2.2 I did all that i could to get through 3/4 of a day on a full charge. Now, with similar usage, I have been going to bed with 50% battery remaining.
On the topic of battery life, I have been playing around with Juice Defender Plus. Essentially it turns off my 3G and wifi radios when my screen is off. Does anyone know if that constant turning on and off of the radios uses more battery than if i just leave them on?
I bet I have at least 20 things I froze on titanium backup..
so sad all this **** is on this phone

When i got the X2 I would get the low battery alarm between 4 and 5 pm under moderate use on average. I purchased the BH6X battery, which allowed me to get to the end of the day with 30 - 40 % usually. Since the update, I'm back to gettting the low battery notification by dinner time. I reset my battery stats yesterday, hopefully we'll see an improvement in the next couple days.
Usage: 40% screen, 30% phone idle, 7% cell standby...
I ordered that battery last night, should be interesting

P3 didn't modify how the phone handles battery life, people have this issue on both versions, I read another post that said if there is any remnants of 2.2.2 on the phone it may be causing this, I think that is why they recommend you sbf, factory reset, wipe all caches, then update, if you have the time/ energy try it and let us know how it works.

Hi all.. for the past the days I have noticed that the battery usage or the battery information tab (eg. Display 30%, Android OS 25%......) in the settings of my motorola razr doesn't add up to 100%.. It varies between 92% and 102%. All I did was root my phone a week back using Motofail and I unrooted it yesterday using Doomslord unroot. Should I factory rest my phone? Please help!!!
Also does anyone know or have you seen this "battery report.apk" file which is also known as "Cool Down Mode"? It is in your phone internal memory. Do you know what it does. Has anyone installed it and checked what it does?
Thanks I advance!!!

seems to be a software hang. Drain battery completly and charge it without start the phone. This may fix the problem. If not, do a factory reset.
Thanks

Try looking through your sync settings, set them as low as possible and be sure to exit your apps with the back button not hitting home
Edit : you could also use better battery stats

I have my sync settings very low as well.. I use juice defender free version!! And I flashed into another build, from Asiaretail03 to PSHAsiaretail and still have the problem!!
How will Better battery Stats help me?? is there a free version of the app?? If not is there any other way?? will it affect my battery life???

I have the paid version of jd, it seems to make things worse for me in terms of battery life on the RAZR, and the lag in the initiation of the cell radio was very annoying. It was great for the og droid though. On another note, freeze all bloat!, and you may have to go through and change the sync settings on each app that uses network sync individually. I'm hesitate to suggest this because there's so many post claiming it's bad for your battery, while I understand the train of thought, I still question the validity of the advice. So do this at your own risk. Since the os is reporting more than or less than 100% battery my guess is that the os's scale is off. The os shuts down your phone well before your battery gets to zero as a fail safe, and stops taking a charge at 100%. When you flash a new rom, or didn't charge the phone fully before you turned it on when new, or any other number of variables, your battery stats get mucked up. The old school way to retrain was turn off and charge for how ever long it takes to know your fully charged (over night), boot into recovery wipe battery stats, unplug boot up and run the phone until it dies, charge to 100 with out turning back on, then use as normal. I dont advise that method, my advice is to run phone until it dies, charge to 100 with out powering up, run phone normally

Ok I don't want to freeze my bloatware... And I completely drained my battery and charged it till 100 without powering up (twice).. But still have the problem...
Let me try the other method but where will I see the recovery wipe battery stats in the boot menu? ?
Thanks a lot for taking your time..

It is in cwm menu under advanced, if you don't have cwm there is a file in the root system, you'll have to research to find its location, (i cant remember where it is), that holds the battery stats, you can delete it and it does basically the same thing. You might could find an app on the market that will find and delete it for you. Just be careful, do it right, you can make it worse.

You should be fine, just let the phone charge to 100% and be sure not to boot up before it gets there, and by no means charge the phone while draining the battery

I was rooted when I froze the bloatware.. This issue with my phone is there for a week now.. Now I am unrooted.. Thinking of rooting again to wipe the battery stats..I will do that if the problem happens even after charging the phone once more to 100%..

Have you ever considered something as simple as % rounding error? Seems more likely, currently mine shows 101%.
I was also curious, what in the world compelled you to bother to add up the percentages in the first place? ;-)
Peace!
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
Just to be totally sure, you're having problems with battery life, its not just that your battery usages are off. The percentages are rounded, but shouldn't be off by more than 10%, if so than its a tell of another problem, also if your a medium- heavy user your screen should be the highest percentage, if its android os or system using a large percentage its normally bloatware in your root file system, if it's media, you need to look at the motocast apps, if its cell stand by, check the time with out signal, if you have a large % with out signal, you should 1st check for the most recent radio, 2nd find out where it is you're getting poor signal and keep your phone in airplane mode in that area if possible, if not only turn off/ on data as you need it, your cell radio seaching for towers will drain your battery quick, also, the reason i suggested better battery stats is it can provide a more detailed breakdown of what is using your battery and identify apps that are keeping your phone frome going into a lower power state with wakelocks
A little more info.

Thanks for the info.. The battery percentage ranges from 92-103%... And my highest battery consumer is the Screen followed by Voice calls and Android OS..
I will try getting better battery stats and check but I don't want to buy the app and experience the same problem..
If the battery life is getting affected will it be because of a faulty battery? can I get a replacement because of this?
And yes thanks a lot for spending your time..

I bought motorola razr maxx then update OTA to ICS and used for about 2 days. I feel my phone getting hotter while use for few minute. The Back case get warm and screen getting hot while i put on my cheek like to make a call. I check battery temp is about 36-38 celcius. Phone get normal again quickly when not use for a moment. Is it normal? If not i will return back to the store
I have charge this phone for the first time while phone off until full. I get about 1 day with not often use, about 8 hour phone idle but connected to wifi. I charge again while phone off till full again and i use until now, i get 12 hour 40 minutes with 40% battery connect to 3G. Is it normal or its not quite longer battery life for motorola razr maxx.

I like to use stock ROM coz network coverage better with stock ICS rather than other android phone I used. Could you give list of unnecessary system app that safe to remove? i'm afraid if I remove important system app that can make my phone unstable
there is a list with every safe system app you can freeze, and it is in the android development section. you will find it

Check if the signal is bad in your place. Plus max brightness on AMOLE screen tends to get hot.

latest ICS is stable, all right. but JB is a lot faster and battery friendly (soak=test version, in verizon case official update)
I strongly suggest that after you get used with the phone, you move to JB update
btw using latest stock verizon JB, my phone tends to get hotter. but not the case with some custom rom running the same leak

i'm use non DROID device and i'm in indonesia so it would be Asia version. I dont know my phone will get JB update or not, there are lot of speculation that only Europe version will get JB. Maybe i will try install with JB official Europe with CID modification but now i'm wait for JB Official for my country. i guess some motoblur application make CPU work hard although i dont add account to motoblur
Hello
I am having some serious battery draining issues with ics stock 4.0.4 rooted. I unplugged my phone from the charger and 4 hours later it was on 70%! I have checked if there is some app draining in the background with better battery stats but there is none! What da hell is the problem then? I have set up smart actions so that when I am not home it won't have wifi turned on and keep 3g going and when I am home it will automatically shut down 3g and turn on wifi but it still won't help. Any suggestions? And no I can't use juicedefender because I need my 3g on the whole time.
Some people are getting awesome battery life with ics stock but I can't use the phone without it draining my battery. It will never last even 12 hours.

well i maybe get a max of about 5 hours on my Razr with the ICS, I cant get the newest update to install on my phone, I've been trying all morning
on ota i had about 2 1/2 days .. thats more than ICS ever had on my phone.
:good:
When I used US Verizon JB, the battery last longer than EU Vodafone's. I would have preferred to use the Vodafone version so I don't have to see the CID error every boot but battery life is more important.
Battery life was awful, phone wouldn't sleep, so I performed factory reset which solved the issue. Now battery life is perhaps even slightly better that it was with ICS, but I lost root.
Worse. MUCH worse.
My wife's fully stock RAZR MAXX ICS used to be around 75% or so after a day of moderate use. After the JB OTA update, she is seeing battery levels around 40% or so, even on days o f light use.
And, we are not alone. I have other friends experiencing the same problem.
Has anyone identified the source of the problem?
It was great in ics but in jb it was improved a lot.
